Hello

I have a R32 GTS-T with these mods; twin front pipe, catback exhaust, fmic, pod and soon will put on a RB25 turbo. Looking at computers now. But until I buy a ecu and tune the car, with these mods when is the time to upgrade to a bigger fuel pump and injectors?

My guess is the second hand pump is exactly that 2nd hand.

For the price of a new pump these days $160-$200 direct replacement why going 2nd hand?

Also its the life source of the car without fuel you will lean out and do more damage then $200 for a pump

Why not, I got a s/h tomei and its brilliant

Thats different in a way. Its more than likely not that old.

But still i would definately prefer not to use 2nd hand fuel pumps.

I knew op was going to say a 2nd hand GTR pump.

With most things that run in fuel, once they are removed they dry up, seals swell etc etc.

since you guys are talking fuel pumps, whats the limit of power for walbro 255L/h and 555nismo's on pump98?:whistling:

Pretty sure thay nicked named them Walbro 500, as in 500HP.

Basically they are generally good to 300+ wkw in most applications. Ive seen so many cars putting that power figure out, and more with only a single in tank pump.

Cant comment on Nismos one.

I brought a genuine walbro for 130 they come around cheap sometimes keep an eye out. Dont buy second hand, its not worth it when your chasing power increases.

Heres a mean set-up my mates put in is R32.4, 1200HP SX pump to keep his 420wkw gtr fed :D

Nismo will do 400rwkw

Walbro - anyone's guess. They are very hit and miss. Mine nosed over @ 270rwkw, others have run into issues at less, some have made more. Gamble you take really. Walbro's from their own information - don't like higher pressures like a Bosch/Nismo etc perform ok.

In engineering is a term called B.S.F.C

(Brake Specific Fuel Consumption)

You could use this caculator to give you an idea about fuel requirements for injectors and pump.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
